Took my girlfriend here around 3-5pm on Valentine’s Day to make her feel special. Food was actually great—hot, tasty, no complaints there. But the service? Absolute disaster from start to finish.
Sat down and got zero attention. No water for the first 20 minutes—had to flag the host just to get some. Drinks from the bar took 30 minutes. Not one server checked on us, refilled anything, or even acknowledged we existed. Managers walked around looking busy but ignored our table completely.
By the time food came, the romantic vibe was dead. We were frustrated and ignored the whole time. Then another 30-minute wait for the check while managers just stared and did nothing—no apology, no help, nothing.
On Valentine’s, when you’re trying to treat someone right, getting treated like you don’t belong is the opposite of special. Food was the only good part, but it wasn’t worth the disrespect.
Better off staying home. Avoid if you want any kind of decent service

Aqimero at The Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia offers an excellent breakfast in a stunning, historic lobby setting.
The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, featuring high ceilings, chandeliers, and luxurious decor. Plush lounge sofas create cozy, inviting spots perfect for lingering.
Highlights include creative, high-quality Latin-infused dishes served with style—far above standard hotel breakfasts.
A memorable, upscale way to start the day! I will be back for the fantastic bourbon selection…

This place is great. Came in for the first time on a Saturday night and was greeted by a beautiful host, Isabella. She was very welcoming as she introduced me to Aqimero, and its variety of Latin flavor dishes. With an already full stomach I decided to just get some drinks at the bar. The service at the bar was great. The bartenders were attentive and in good spirits. The cocktails were great and it was good to see the large variety of spirits to choose from.

I decided to go to this restaurant for my sister’s birthday. First, I’d like to mention the atmosphere, which gives off a calm, chic, and open space vibe. The aesthetic is pleasing with the dim lamp lights on the table and the high ceilings. The menu itself had a smaller selection, which could be a bit limiting for those who prefer more variety, but the dishes offered were well-crafted. The staff were friendly and attentive, which really added to the overall dining experience. Some items are on the pricier side, but considering the restaurant is connected to The Ritz-Carlton, the quality and setting definitely reflect that.
As for the food, it was quite good. I had the Cheesesteak Empanadas and Crispy Shrimp & Calamari as appetizers, along with the salmon for my entrée, which was really tasty and was a decent portion. Some others at the table had the lobster, but they were somewhat disappointed since there was barely any meat, which didn’t seem worth the price they paid.
I also tried the short ribs, which were great, and the Cusco Chicken dish, which was excellent on its own. The sides definitely added to the overall meal, so I recommend ordering them for a more well-rounded experience. I had the Crab Mashed Potatoes and Esquites Mac and Cheese if you are looking for something to try. Overall, the atmosphere and quality of food at this restaurant make it worth visiting, despite a few slight disappointments. Lastly, the drinks were great, and the dessert was as well. The flavors and presentation of the dishes, along with the ambiance, create a memorable dining experience that is definitely worth trying.

Special on every aspect, it’s a real treat. We had some timely issues with our brunch and the manager came over to smooth things over. Food was amazing! Loved this experience!

Came here with my colleagues for dinner and drinks. Service was outstanding – very attentive and quick. We ordered the cheesesteak empanadas (cheesy and delicious – make sure to have with the chimichurri sauce) and guacamole (fresh though a bit too salty) to share. I had the cauliflower for my entree which was delicious, loved the hummus underneath and cauliflower was cooked perfectly. For drinks, had several Passion Fruit Pisco Sours which were delicious- not as sweet as it sounds.

This place is beautiful! My server was named Jasper and was very sweet. I’m a restrictive eater and had a couple questions about menu items. She was able to answer every question and able to give great suggestions! I had a lunch dish and it was great as well presented beautifully. Along with that everyone was very attentive and nice! Definitely will be going again.

Did the bar at Aqimero while staying at the Philadelphia Ritz. The setup is fine – good service and decent selection. Honestly though when considering the grandeur of the space and when compared to similar hotel bars at even other Ritzs – the bar here could be so much more interesting.

This was my first time at Aqimero, and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The food was just incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I couldn’t ask for a better price to quality ratio.
The atmosphere was just as impressive. It was vibrant and welcoming. Our server, Jasper, was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, which made the whole experience even better. She was able to accommodate my allergies perfectly.
Overall, everything exceeded my expectations, and I’m already looking forward to coming back with more of my friends. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!
